Chapter Five: Rabbit in the Trap:
Breakfast was going fine when I heard my cell phone buzz. I tried to ignore it at first in fears that it would be Kaoru again. The buzzing stopped for a short time. I thought it was alright from there. Then, my phone buzzed again. I kept trying to ignore it, but it just wouldn’t stop. My friends finally looked up at me.
“Aren’t you going to answer that?” Kiku asked me. I quickly shook my head.
“No,” I said. My phone buzzed again. I tried to force myself to grin. “
Why won’t he just hang up?” I thought. “Why won’t he leave me alone?” I looked at my friends, nervously. I gave them a matching laugh.
“It’s probably a wrong number,” I said. They didn’t seem to believe me. Aki looked at me with slight concern.

Chapter Four: The Hunt Begins:
Chapter Four: The Hunt Begins:
I sat there in the bed, naked and confused. I tried to piece together what had happened in my mind. Yesterday was my birthday. The girls and I went out to the bar. Then, I met a cute stranger named Kaoru at the bar. I ordered many drinks and hung out with him. And then… It goes hazy from there. I took a moment to think about all of that. I must have blacked out at the bar. Then, where am I and who carried me here? Then, I looked at the text message again. I shuddered at the words. That’s when my deepest fear struck me.
“Oh no!” I said softly to myself. Did I… cheat on Aki? I shook my head. No, I couldn’t have! It was just a drunken one-night stand! I love him too much to stray! No, I couldn’t have. It was just a one-night stand. Yeah, that’s it. It was only a one-night stand. I got too drunk and don’t remember a thing. I just need to get up, get dressed, and get out of here—where ever this place is. I quickly shook my head. Can’t think about that now. I have to get out of here. Right! I quickly leapt out of bed and looked around for my clothes. It took me a minute, but I managed to find most of them. I couldn’t find my panties, however. I’ll look for them later. Once I got dressed, I quickly and quietly left the room.

Chapter Three: Night of Lovers:
Chapter Three: Night of Lovers:
I’m still trying to piece together that night I ended up in Kaoru’s room. It all happened so fast. I know that I was at the bar in the beginning. He offered to buy me a drink and I accepted. We were talking and drinking. Well, I was doing most of the drinking. Kaoru just watched me and talked the whole time. This moment was rather odd for me. I don’t normally drink. My family had warned me off of such. Maybe it was my birthday. Maybe it was the cute stranger next to me. But for some reason, I kept on drinking and drinking. It started out with one drink of sake. Then, one became two. Soon, two became four and the drinks kept increasing. I didn’t seem to know how to stop. My stranger only watched me drink up. I looked over at him in happy, flooded haze.

Chapter Two: Stranger at the Bar:
Okinawa is beautiful this time of year. It is like summer all of the time for me. My family and I always vacation here during my breaks. I guess it wouldn’t be bad to go here twice. The flight was a nice and quick one for me. I just slept peacefully the whole way. Unlike Kiku and Hikari, I do well with plane trips. I had to sit by Hikari to keep her from having a panic attack. I leaned into her ear at one point.
“Shhh,” I whispered. “It’s okay; just think about all of the fun we’re going to be having this weekend.” My friend nodded at me quickly. She slowly made herself relax. I gave her a calm little smile.

Chapter One: The Summer it All Ended:
Chapter One: The Summer it All Ended:
I met Kaoru while I was on vacation with my friends. It was my birthday then. My friends decided to take me out to Okinawa for the weekend. This was quite the surprise to be honest with you. The whole plan went like this:
Back then, I worked at my family’s art dealership. I am to become the sole heir later this year. That day was one of last good days that I would ever have. My morning started out great. I woke up to a text message from my mother. “Happy 20th, Setsuna!” it read. I couldn’t help but to smile. “Thanks mom,” I thought. I got and went through my daily routine to get ready for school and work. They went all out for breakfast for me this morning. I got my favorite dishes today. The chef made me Pork Shogayaki for breakfast this morning. You can imagine my shock when I saw that on the table with steamed rice and ginger tea waiting on the table for me. I had to blink to see if I was dreaming.
